"My pride has doomed us all"
This is my greatest betrayal
Throughout the rivers of change and the sands of time
I, the eternal pillar, forever parting the surge
This enigma of limitations stains my soul
Where is the breach? Am I God?
A final test to gain truth
The thirst for understanding has shifted to perversion
Lust for certainty leads to the wells of knowledge dark
Drinking deep of its waters my gluttony is still not sated
The disease of curiosity consumes
The greed will never cease
The skies of Isolation now a bridge between worlds
My spirit once pure, now a mire of arrogance
Diving from my sanctuary, my passage through the portal of reality
Oh tortured heart, let us find certainty
The howling wind, screeching songs of sorrow and woe
With the ground fast approaching, begging me, "Return"
A paused world, pleading time to rewind
One thought shrieks with searing wrath
"Purge"
Writhing in agony
This mimicry of Icarus
My envy of the empty, attained
This is death, my final truth
Now can we rest, my troubled heart?
Slowly spiralling through the siphon
Sensing my soul now wasting away
My heart it fails as I realise
"My pride has doomed us all"
